“Excellent products and great attention from the staff Many tables inside, cozy atmosphere Sometimes in summer we set outside I highly recommend this place.“

“Beautiful interior, best chai latte close to what my chai would be. Friendly staff, fast service.“

“I've been coming here for the past 10 years on and off and then during the pandemic i started coming 1 drive thru and the staff is so amazing! Chris and brian absolutely love them but haven't seen ether of them in a while but the new staff seems pretty friendly, i do find myself having to go back and having them remake my drinks for wrong milk or charged for a larger size and get the wrong size BUT some of the best most consistent coffee there is. I've never tried something on the menu and been disappointed! The owner is such a sweet heart and extremely nice! not only to myself but to my kids as well and always waves to us in the morning from her car!“

“Love Tan-Cha. Great drink and great service 🥰🥰🥰“

“Friendly and Warm Staff!! Will Definitely come back again“

“The ice cream taco was good but namely for the novelty. As ice cream, it's texture pales in comparison to the titans of Bay Area ice cream. Great for snacking if you're in the area but don't make a pilgrimage for it. The service is prompt but you'll have trouble finding parking in the area. Great for a little date, it's clean but there's not a lot of seating. It's fairly sweet as well, so I would just share my taco.“

“Cafe Big Mug is an absolute gem in San Jose—cozy vibes, modern aesthetic, and a menu that hits all the sweet spots (literally and figuratively). I stopped by recently and was seriously impressed with both the drinks and the desserts.

I ordered a mocha latte, matcha latte, and strawberry latte, and let me tell you—they were as beautiful as they were delicious. Each drink had its own unique flavor profile: the mocha was rich and chocolatey, the matcha was earthy and smooth without being too bitter, and the strawberry latte was perfectly sweet and creamy, with real fruit flavor.

For food, I tried the Nutella banana toast and honey bread toast—both were next-level good. The Nutella banana combo was warm and indulgent, and the honey bread toast? Fluffy, golden, and just the right amount of crispy on the edges. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this place will absolutely deliver.

The cafe is also super aesthetic—a great spot to chill, study, or catch up with friends. Service was friendly and fast even though it got a little busy during peak hours.

Also, if you're curious to see the vibes and what I had, check out my video on TikTok at @kingrodism—I post foodie finds and travel gems all around the Bay and beyond.

Highly recommend Big Mug for anyone looking to treat themselves. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“I ordered two hot chocolates through Uber eats and found a wonderful note that says "Azeem. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful night! Enjoy!!" It definitely made my night. Thank you to the night crew. You guys are awesome. BTW the Hot chocolates were amazing!!!!“

“Open. OPEN! OPEM! Parking a lot easier than old location“

“In my opinion, it is one of the biggest Starbucks stores with high ceilings and great modern design. Despite their $35 million dollars lawsuit loss, somehow, they continue to give customers Venti size very hot tea in a single cup, instead of doubling the cup for stability to hold the hot drink. With a Venti size, the volume and cup design makes the cup very squishy, resulting in people burning their hand or other body parts. I guess a company and its staff can be for every WOKE agenda, but not common sense!“

“Great cold brew and Boba. Lots to offer here with a kiosk to order. Great community oriented owners for sure. More to offer than what's on this menu, there's tea, Boba, milk tea, etc but the cold brews are a latte, so expect mostly milk. I recommend 50% sweet.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I tried the new iced pumpkin latte and it was really good! It tastes better than Starbucks! I can’t wait for every fall to have some! :)“

“Clean and functional Starbucks, located in an urban village plaza. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot, although it can fill up quickly since it’s shared with the Nob Hill next door plus some other restaurants in the plaza. Fast and efficient service, and several decent outdoor spots to hang out.“

“Staff were so warm and friendly, and helped me customize my order to my liking and gave me recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing, the baguettes were warm and crispy and the pork and tofu were savory and delicious. Would HIGHLY recommend 10/10“

“My favorite coffee shop in South Bay. Food is actually pretty good in my opinion, and location is great. Only criticism I have is that:

1. They change the wifi password frequently
2. Can get quite crowded
3. Can be a bit overpriced for some items.

Despite all that, I keep going lol“

“Great coffee and friendly service; however, I visited during a busy time and the place was mobbed. Took quite a while to get my beverage. It was hot and tasty, though.“

“My nephew and I stopped by after visiting SCU yesterday. It was a perfect day to get boba so we came here

Prices are similar to any boba place but the owner or workers here were super nice.
We ordered gyoza, taro milk tea, and brown sugar milk tea. We didn't know the drinks already came with a boba and my nephew added boba to his drink thinking it didn't have it. The worker or maybe the owner, just super sized my nephew's drink.
We were happy they did that.
I like honesty and that was much appreciated.
Will definitely come again since i work nearby.“

“Even if there is a line the employees are fast and drinks accurate“

“I study here :) and it is quiet and not too many crowd here today.“

“This is the best place. Recommend to come and try all the drinks.“

“Always a fun location to grab a cup especially before or after a movie. There’s an AMC cineplex next door.“
